      Without outing your location, where generally do you reside? I ask as now I’m genuinely curious if a library is no further than a grocery store for most people. I can imagine that being the case in some metropolitan areas–but I wonder about the suburban, and especially rural areas, both of which hold a heck of a lot of people, if it’s true for them. Heck, there’s 4 grocery stores in a 4 mile radius around me but neither of the two closest libraries would fall in that radius.

        most people in developed countries live near a metropolitan center and very few live rurally.
